“Just when you think you have it figured out, you’re not looking hard enough.”
This is a thought that has been crossing my mind. Although complex, it’s very quite simple you see. We spend so much of our awakened hours focused, but focused on the wrong things. We need to separate our routine thoughts and behaviors from the current opportunities placed within our reach. We so seldom extend our arms and grasp what’s directly in our sight. Why is this? Are we scared to fail or is it as simple as not being aware? Being quite observant, I thought I had a clench on my life, but digging deeper with a shovel of curiosity exposed what I truly was seeking.
Keep your eyes open. It’s about living in the moment and accepting what life is presenting you. We’ve always been advised to “seize the moment” by our parents and elders, well my question is why? I’ve begun to feel it’s something they have always struggled with and never took that leap of faith. You can’t win a game sitting on the sidelines, so I encourage you to not be that person. I encourage you to get away from all the noise that blocks our transmission of ideas. I encourage you to stop… listen and question yourself, “Am I missing anything?”
I re-state my original thought, the wisdom of the universe. Things work out in the strangest ways… why? Are these just coincidence or signs designed to hook our attention and beckon us back on track? I like to believe that some days you are faced with certain situations that have been designed in advanced to prepare you for your future. I feel that you must make a choice on what course of action you will take. The question is will you tune the opportunity in and tune the world out.
I leave you with this line to reflect on, “What if we woke up in the morning and expected only amazing things to happen.” Ask yourself, what could you achieve?
